Andre, David Gilmour regardless of his solo or PF guise, has always brought me to tears with his voice and playing whatever instrument, and I've being a floydian for 52 years. My wife has stage 4 terminal cancer and at night after I've tucked her in I spend an hour or 2 on youtube unwinding from the stresses of the day, and I always watch some Gilmour videos, and you and your lovely wife are favourites of mine. Your reactions and your emotional connection to David, his band, and the songs is utter perfection, and normal for all us floydians. Please don't stop showing us all this emotional connection you have. Cheers!
The song hits even harder as he enters his golden years. Beautiful song. And never apologize for showing emotions. These are the kinds of *real* reactions that we come for. 👍
What impressed me most about this live version is this, the original album version was magnificent, David then strips it back and totally reconstructs it with a new arrangement and a freaking acoustic guitar solo at the end!!! Another great reaction guys!
David Gilmour is the only person in the world who has ever played a live concert in front of an audience at the Pompeii Amphitheatre and I was there in 2016!
Well, at least first person to play for a live audience in more than 2000 years. And also he (with the rest of the members of Pink Floyd) were the first to play at the amphiteater for more than 2000 years. So he has done it twice. Amazing artist.
Andre, you have the BEST, most GENUINE reactions of all! I congratulate you for your candid and honest expressions. Music should move us emotionally. Bravo!
Whow! It's not the guitar that's special, it's the person who holds the guitar. I have never heard anyone so clearly express what makes Dave Gilmour's guitar playing move us all so emotionally. It is indeed because of the person who holds the guitar, and in this case it's the person we all know as David Gilmour that we get to experience whenever he plays. What an honour.
What an emotional reaction again. I always cry while I listen to Pink Floyd. Andre Never apologize for showing emotion, its a beautiful thing. I've been a fan of Pink Floyd and especially David Gilmore for over 50 years. Keep up those lovely reaction videos.
Each time we listen to this song despite the age of David Gilmour it still plenty of emotions and vibes. Your tears are so precious fir us and plenty of hopes to change our beautiful world we live.
Another fantastic reaction, love watching both of reacting to David & floyd. In any tongue from this concert is amazing, the guitar solo is one of his best and emotional solo's 🎶🤗
Thank you Andrei for your ❤ reacktion on this.. High hopes. I ❤ this song everytime i also hear this song i also get emotions.❤.. thanks to you to Dominica❤
David gilmore giving of himself through his incredible musical prowess you can practically read his mind and of course his beautiful emotions he has a big heart you will never be disappointed listening to his music yet another very moving piece of thought provoking music great reaction once again from you both
Andrei, you just don‘t know how much I appreciate your tears. If more people in power were just as aware of their authentic feelings of sadness and their positive emotions of childhood memories as you are, the world would be a peacefull place. Thank you!
"I just feel it in my heart"..... Andrei, I don't think you need to say ANYTHING more. Love all your reactions. I have a tear in my eye at the moment. I'm 70 years old and I can assure you that he will touch you when you are 70. To explain about the Pink Floyd and David Gilmour versions. The song was originally written for the band to play and is on their second album after the three of them got back together. David, Nick and Richard. When this tour was going on, it was a solo David Gilmour tour but of course as well as his solo music he played so much Pink Floyd music too.
i love this concert. this is my favourite version of this song, mainly because of the acoustic solo at the end. please, please, please react to 'In Any Tongue', from this concert. you will love it. it's an anti-war song, with amazing lyrics, incredible backing singing and one of my absolute favourite guitar solos. it's a Gilmour song, not a Pink Floyd song. incredible
You're not the only one who had tears running down your face. It's such a beautiful thing to see people so moved by this. Your reaction shows a caring heart... something this world needs more of.
You are the sweetest couple! Andre, I can see from your reaction that you feel this song the same as I do. Weeping to beauty is not unmanly! I'm a gruff looking old guy, and I cry to music & other beautiful things all the time. It means you are a whole person, in touch with your feelings, it's good, don't feel embarrassed! I love this song so much, I want it to be a funeral song for me (not that I'll be around to hear it, lol), but even so, I listen to it sparingly because it is so melancholic and bittersweet, while being heart-achingly beautiful, that it does make me cry. So I save it for special moments when I can really savor it in peace. Here I am, teary-eyed as I type. There is nothing wrong with you or me, just take it in, let it wash through you, feel the emotions. That's why Gilmour wrote it! Shine On!
wonderful reaction, please, please, please do In Any Tongue from this concert, in my opinion one of DG's best solos, and such a powerful song too - it's stunning. And only strong men show their emotions in public Andrei 😊
Can you even imagine being able to pull out a guitar and be able to connect with millions of people like that? This man is my second favorite artist of all time and easily my favorite guitarist! (He'd be number 1 if not for Freddie).
Another lovely reaction folks, such beautiful and moving musical magic from the master magician. I know others have suggested it but for a little more musical sorcery you should try In Any Tongue from this show, it's glorious, but you might need to keep the tissues handy.
Hello, Andrei and Dominika. For the last couple of years I’ve been watching quite a few reactions to some of my favorite bands/singers, including my #1 PINK FLOYD /DAVID GILMOUR, and I have a selection of favourite reactors, too. Andrei, you are right; This performance is INCREDIBLY EMOTIONAL. From the music, arrangement, visuals, mood (Bell), lyrics (nostalgia, life). It’s the last song from PF’s 1994 album The Division Bell, considered by many (me included) as the Last PF Studio Album. This Pompeii Concert is from 2015-2016. I remember seeing an interview with David Gilmour from this tour, and he said that this performance was in memory of PF’s keyboardist and longtime friend RICHARD WRIGHT, who passed away in 2008. The bassist is Guy Pratt (Richard Wright son in law) who joined the band back in the mid 80s when Roger Waters left, and has been with David ever since. To resume this performance in a few words, let’s say it’s the perfect medicine for the Emotional Constipation. Ok. We got the part of the song done. Now to your reaction … As I said before, I’ve been checking out quite a few reactions to PF, and yours are truly special. You guys express and show really well the exact reaction that PF brings out in us the receptors. PF/DG music is not just for listening, you don’t have a choice but to immerse yourself in the experience. David’s guitar really sings and takes us to a whole different plane where we can’t help but let out our most pure feelings and emotions. So … Andrei … Please don’t hold back. Just let it all out and afterwards you’ll fell a sort of peace in your soul you can’t fully explain. Trust me! This guys LITERALLY helped me climb out of a deep depression a couple of years ago. Keep up the spirit! Sncerely, El Charlie P.S. While we’re on this note, let me give you a couple of suggestions that are right up there with this performance: 1) ECHOES (LIVE FROM GDANSK, 2006) David Gilmour said this is the Last time he was ever going to perform this song, as Keyboardist Richard Wright passed away a couple of years later, and the song wasn’t the same without him. 2) A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM (From the same Gdansk tour). David’s guitar solo here is truly magical. Peace!
You guys embody the true spirit of these reaction type videos. Your genuine emotional reactions are why I listen and watch, especially for songs that I've heard for 30 and 40 years. It gives me hope and a fresh perspective that people with like-minded tastes from all different backgrounds and upbringings can be united by the emotion that music triggers. Keep up the great work and keep the genuine reactions coming thank you so much
Music like this unites us all, race, nationalit, gender, religion, age, status, class, all the things that can be used to divide us pale into insignificance when music like this can unite us across any barrier.
I get emotional every time I hear this song! I’ve been listening to pf for 51 yrs and listen to their music every day! David’s wife writes most of the lyrics to his music!!
High hopes 💔 PINK FLOYD siempre será la mejor banda sonora y poética de Rock de la historia de la música ☮️🙏♥️🇦🇷 Saludos desde Argentina genios, me encanta su canal. David Gilmour is God!!!
Can see that you are Italian...your eyes say it all, man. It's wonderful to know that such people exist. I hear yours in my heart. Greetings from the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea!!!
This in my top 3 PF songs but I still think the best live High Hopes performance is from the DG 'Live in Gdansk' concert with the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra......
David Gilmore is a special talent and for years around the holidays lots of guitars of every brand, electric, acoustic or even unpopular brands we’re praying that David was under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. God Bless Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘
Thank you both for granting my request. And Andrei, your emotions only mean that you are a strong enough man to let them show. I cry every time I listen to this song. I'm 60 years old. I read in the comments suggestions that you should react to other versions of this song that are "better". Every version I have seen and listened to of this song including the album version are beautiful in there own way. The Gdansk version is second on my list with the orchestra behind them. But as mentioned by other seasoned Floydians......this acoustic ending coupled with the ambience of the whole setting just sets this one apart for me. And I agree with you Dominka.....as David ages he just becomes more amazing.
The fact that the song is about getting old, it becomes even more powerful when David Gilmore performs it at the age of 75ish and not at 45ish (Pulse time).
"In any tongue"! "Faces of Stone"!! Same concert!! Two songs that proves David Gilmour just gets better the older he gets!!! The first song is anti-war and beautiful!! The second song is one of his last memories with his mother who was suffering with dementia!! Also a beautiful song but what do you expect with David Gilmour???
This may not be “Pink Floyd” in name, but it is the best version of this song. I’m a straight man but I have the biggest “man crush” on David Gilmour. He has a beautiful spirit that speaks to me like no other musician. And someone previously said in the comments which I completely agree with. The studio version, and the Pulse version, of this song were amazing but somehow I never felt like it ended in a satisfying way, for me. The acoustic outro completely finishes this song for me, which is why this the best version for me.
I totally agree with you @mikewatts867. After hearing many different endings to this song live, I feel he finally mastered it at the age of 70ish on this stage. This is why I made the request for it. I weep every time I watch this.
Like i always say, I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS FROM PINK FLOYD, as it is my favourite band ever.... And been lucky and priviledge to listen to Pink Floyd since 1981... Never had the luck to see them live and i would be one of the things that i would love to happen, still, in my life... Thank you once again... your'e both in my heart... IT´S NOT WEEKNESS... I HAVE THAT SAME FEELING FOR THE PAST 42 YEARS
Both of you are wonderful! Fun to watch your Pink Floyd journey, one many of us have been traveling for some time. Enjoy! I would highly recommend you watch “In Any Tongue” from this same concert. Very beautiful and emotional song. David’s solo at the end of that song is one of his most emotional pieces.
You say that he sold some guitars and it's true. It is known that In 2019 he auctioned off 120 guitars, including the famous Black Strat and a selection of Fender Broadcasters, Esquires, Telecasters and Stratocasters for charity. In 2003, she sold his house in Little Venice and donated the proceeds of £3.6 million to the Crisis Foundation to help finance a housing project for the homeless, as well as supporting various charities. Do you remember "On the turning away"? This magnificent human being believes in what he writes and will always have my admiration.
I wrote just the other day that I'd heard interviews with several musicians who had more or less come into contact with Gilmour, and they all talked about what a joy it was to work with him. In rehearsals, in concerts, on the road in his spare time. The truth is that Gilmour always chooses absolute professionals in their field and demands absolute discipline (meaning in the interpretation and arrangement of the music) in rehearsals and performances. The rehearsals are quite tough and demanding. Nevertheless, there is a tremendous sense of well-being and joy in the work. As in the Pink Floyd era,Gilmour gives unprecedented space to backing vocalists in his solo projects, for which they are very grateful. I think I've written this before, too, but it always gives me immense pleasure to see the musicians often smile at each other during a concert, as if saying to each other from a distance, "Yeah, that was good." I like that. I wish everyone a good time, and not just listening to more Pink Floyd - for example, Run Like Hell from this concert - another fantastic rock firecracker that closed the show. Great music and an unprecedented spectacle, with everyone on stage having to put on sunglasses - guess why and try...
Laughing like a drain at your comment ‘I thought he had a batch of magic guitars’. So funny 😂 Please keep doing the Pink Floyd/David Gilmour reactions! X
I believe that the ending of this song where it sounds different is because at this stage of life all of your experiences feel different. Old age feels tragically beautiful, like this song.
Your reaction is indeed the cherry, love his heart, feel the same 😍 She is right, he can feel the good in the world...❣️How can a human being not be touched by this? She also got it with her perception of the drummer: The drummer once said, playing with David Gilmour each time is like winning the lottery, he cannot believe it and feels so hlessed, in the same way talked the other guitarist who played with many stars like Michael Jackson and thought this was it, but with pink Floyd and David Gilmour he gained another level, also the keyboarder, this gratitude, appreciation and joy of the band members is part of the spirit and love filled athmosphere ❤ Yes, the beautifulness is undescribable😭🥰💚💜 I believe that all the Floydians have a form of higher heart body brain connection to the great connection, so you feel allways something special, with gets you out of this conditioned world... Try Pink Floyds sauerful of secrets (live at Pompeii): the story telling from chaos to beauty (especially with Ricks spirit)😊
Welcome to the Pink Floyd/David Gilmour family! Even after years of starting on the Floyd journey, I find my breath still catches in my throat and the tears well up. Goose bumps, palpitations and feelings of ascention mixed with raw indescribable emotion. Don't apologise for your honest reaction to something so beautiful. Enjoy the ride!
Good reaction as always. Shoutout to Guy Pratt that works in the shadows (since Delicate...) on the bass. He adds so much life to the songs live. Pompeii version of One of these days is as good as the original. Delicate and Pulse versions i really like but for me i guess they need to be in Pompeii. :)
When this album was first released I took a trip to the Hawaiian Islands again. I had a Mustang convertible to drive and this album playing almost constantly. Though not really an island type of vibe it has become inextricably blended with the islands in my mind and still, decades later, brings forth those memories every time I play it.
You both just made my day..as a long time floyd fan this is one epic track in terms of musical presence ive always loved its power and this is mesmerizing.
Great reaction to a great song from a great show. I do hope you get around to "Echoes" from Live from Gdansk, Richard Wright's last recorded live performance.
Regarding the confusion with Gilmour playing Pink Floyd music at his solos shows: David wrote and/or played the music on all but the very earliest Pink Floyd albums, so he has the freedom to play any of those songs at his solo shows. David has stated that when Richard Wright passed away in 2008, Pink Floyd essentially died as a band out of respect for Wright. He(David Gilmour) will never play another live performance under the name of Pink Floyd. His deep respect for Richard Wright is the same reason he won't play Echoes at any of his shows. The bass player's name is Guy Pratt. He's essentially been the bass player for Pink Floyd since the departure of Roger Waters in the mid-80's, for David Gilmour, and even for Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets tour most recently. If Dave were to go on tour with Nick Mason on drums, it would most likely be hyped up as a Pink Floyd tour...which generally means a new album needs to be recorded to support the tour, all the massive undertaking of lights, equipment, etc. that would be required to produce a concert of PF expected quality. There would likely have to be a multiple leg tour to Europe, USA, Canada, etc. with each leg having dozens of shows at different venues. None of these things are anything David Gilmour has any desire to be a part of from my understanding. With solo tours, he can put out a new album is he so chooses with material that he has created, choose the venue(s) to play, and choose his backing band members. I saw this tour when it was in the USA in 2016. The USA part of the tour only had FOUR venues. Compare that to the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour from 1987 which had 23 venues or the Division Bell tour (the tour from the Pulse show) in 1994 that had 35 different venues. I don't know for certain, but there might likely be record label legalities associated with a show billed by Pink Floyd. Needless to say...if for some reason a news flash popped up that Pink Floyd's surviving members were going to put on one show on the moon and tickets were going to be $10,000 each, there would be droves of fans booking a flight on space shuttles.
Love to you both really enjoy your reaction to Pink Floyd who i as a 74 yr old had similar reactions way back then. Floyd's music is as relevant now as was then and takes you on a soul journey. Namaste
It's true what you say, Gilmour is a rock GOD but the rest of the live band are INSANELY AWESOME as well. I hope you'll got back to watch the Live At Pompeii performance of Sorrow sometime, just watch the other band members during that, it's INCREDIBLE when you see just what a great time they're having.
Here is a quick way to tell if you're looking at Pink Floyd or David Gilmour solo. Nick Mason is the drummer and a founding member of Pink Floyd. If you see him on drums you know it's a Pink Floyd concert since yes, David did take many of his Floyd backup extras on his 2006 tour, including Richard Wright (founding member) on keyboard. This video here is from 2016. Gilmour always includes plenty of songs from the Pink Floyd catalog on his solo tours since his vocals and guitar are so prominent on so many of their most famous songs. He knows what the people want.
Love you two You are spot on Dominika,...DG's later work has matured aesthetically - both in his vocal delivery and musical sensibility. I hear he is working on a new solo album (probably his last) and I for one can't wait for its release. No doubt Romany (his daughter) will be an integral part of it. Also Dominika - if there is a tour make sure Andrei gets to see him live.
David has a library of his own songs he has written for his solo records but he is also a major composer of Pink Floyd music and hold the copyrights to perform them in both his solo concert tours and Pink Floyd shows. It is not a David Gilmour show without a few PF songs mixed in.
Both of you mention often how its impossible to describe how beautiful the Gilmour/Pink Floyd experience is, but, I'll comment that the emotional effect this music has on both of you from time to time is exactly the "unspoken" voice of articulation that is so hard to find within yourself. If this music makes you emotional, you are non-verbally saying you aren't just being exposed to the music, but, you are feeling it all the way to the molecular level of your being. You're not just listening to the music, you are HEARING what it is saying. I've been lucky enough to witness a PF show and several Gilmour and Roger Waters shows and at a few of those shows I witnessed people crying because the experience effected them in the same way it does you two sometimes. Rest assured, you're not alone when Gilmour tears you to shreds with his guitar. In fact, most of us that are life-long PF fans know exactly what you are saying.
Sometimes it's ok not to say anything when the music is so beautiful. The tears say it all
Well stated.
And yet they do for copyright and, ya know, it’s a reaction video.
One of the most beautiful and melancholic songs I heard in my life. Impossible not to tear up when David plays the guitar.
The strength of character to lay bare one's soul is an act of bravery in my book. Thank You for giving of yourself Andrei.
Andre, David Gilmour regardless of his solo or PF guise, has always brought me to tears with his voice and playing whatever instrument, and I've being a floydian for 52 years. My wife has stage 4 terminal cancer and at night after I've tucked her in I spend an hour or 2 on youtube unwinding from the stresses of the day, and I always watch some Gilmour videos, and you and your lovely wife are favourites of mine. Your reactions and your emotional connection to David, his band, and the songs is utter perfection, and normal for all us floydians. Please don't stop showing us all this emotional connection you have. Cheers!
May God bless you and your wife.
Peace, brother
I feel you Brother, I cared for my wife till the end, the Floyd have a special place in my heart...Peace.
David Glmour magnificl👏👏👏
The song hits even harder as he enters his golden years. Beautiful song. And never apologize for showing emotions. These are the kinds of *real* reactions that we come for. 👍
Brother, I am 77, same age as David, and he cries the same as you and I, a baby laughing can bring tears to the eyes....Peace.
What impressed me most about this live version is this, the original album version was magnificent, David then strips it back and totally reconstructs it with a new arrangement and a freaking acoustic guitar solo at the end!!! Another great reaction guys!
"...The Endless River
Forever and Ever."
"...Float on a River
Forever and Ever
Emily (Emily)..."
The acoustic outro solo is just breathtaking. So much expressed with such little notes. Only Gilmour can do it like this!!!
David Gilmour is the only person in the world who has ever played a live concert in front of an audience at the Pompeii Amphitheatre and I was there in 2016!
Well, at least first person to play for a live audience in more than 2000 years.
And also he (with the rest of the members of Pink Floyd) were the first to play at the amphiteater for more than 2000 years.
So he has done it twice. Amazing artist.
It's simply Pure Magic.
No plays guitar with as much emotion as David Gilmour. He makes feel so many things, it truly is amazing.
Andre, you have the BEST, most GENUINE reactions of all! I congratulate you for your candid and honest expressions. Music should move us emotionally. Bravo!
Beautiful people reacting to beautiful music is…beautiful.
Whow! It's not the guitar that's special, it's the person who holds the guitar. I have never heard anyone so clearly express what makes Dave Gilmour's guitar playing move us all so emotionally. It is indeed because of the person who holds the guitar, and in this case it's the person we all know as David Gilmour that we get to experience whenever he plays. What an honour.
"In Any Tongue" is a must from this concert!
What an emotional reaction again. I always cry while I listen to Pink Floyd. Andre Never apologize for showing emotion, its a beautiful thing. I've been a fan of Pink Floyd and especially David Gilmore for over 50 years. Keep up those lovely reaction videos.
right there is one of my all time fave songs and the beauty of the human soul/spirit in Gilmours playing and the PF song from a beautiful album
You guys .. I cry when I watch you cry!!!! Amazing. Glad you adore David x
Each time we listen to this song despite the age of David Gilmour it still plenty of emotions and vibes.
Your tears are so precious fir us and plenty of hopes to change our beautiful world we live.
Your Not Human if you don't Tear 😢 Up during this song. That's the Magic of Pink Floyd Live!!!!
Your reactions are priceless. Thank you.
I cant listen without shredding some tears 😊
Another fantastic reaction, love watching both of reacting to David & floyd. In any tongue from this concert is amazing, the guitar solo is one of his best and emotional solo's 🎶🤗
"in any tongue" **********************************
Thank you Andrei for your ❤ reacktion on this.. High hopes. I ❤ this song everytime i also hear this song i also get emotions.❤.. thanks to you to Dominica❤
Seen them twice live. Their music helped repair my soul. Helped me process the unprocessable. All I can do is feel thankful.
David gilmore giving of himself through his incredible musical prowess you can practically read his mind and of course his beautiful emotions he has a big heart you will never be disappointed listening to his music yet another very moving piece of thought provoking music great reaction once again from you both
For his solo career, David Gilmour surrounded himself with wonderful musicians and lovely people also.
Andrei, you just don‘t know how much I appreciate your tears.
If more people in power were just as aware of their authentic feelings of sadness and their positive emotions of childhood memories as you are, the world would be a peacefull place. Thank you!
"I just feel it in my heart"..... Andrei, I don't think you need to say ANYTHING more. Love all your reactions. I have a tear in my eye at the moment. I'm 70 years old and I can assure you that he will touch you when you are 70.
To explain about the Pink Floyd and David Gilmour versions. The song was originally written for the band to play and is on their second album after the three of them got back together. David, Nick and Richard. When this tour was going on, it was a solo David Gilmour tour but of course as well as his solo music he played so much Pink Floyd music too.
Every drummer would smile with every bar and every drum-kick when he could play with David Gilmore…
Watch out Andre. 30 years from now, David is going to bring a tear to your eye.
When you feel a song like that the way you do, it means you have lived a life worth living. I love your honesty.
This man’s voice has gotten even better with age. Incredible.
i love this concert. this is my favourite version of this song, mainly because of the acoustic solo at the end. please, please, please react to 'In Any Tongue', from this concert. you will love it. it's an anti-war song, with amazing lyrics, incredible backing singing and one of my absolute favourite guitar solos. it's a Gilmour song, not a Pink Floyd song. incredible
THIS!
In any Tongue, yes!
In any Tongue, from this concert is magnificent. Andre, bring some tissues.
You're not the only one who had tears running down your face. It's such a beautiful thing to see people so moved by this. Your reaction shows a caring heart... something this world needs more of.
David Gilmore brings to us in his music, a life lived, with all that comes with it. Pierced the heart.
Dont be so Sad ! weall have the same feeling ! just enjoy the time and the chance to listen pink floyd and David Gilmour 😍
Magnificent ❤❤❤❤
The last chords of the piano with the guitar are especially incredible !!!!!
A rock grandpa bring tears....and then drink tea... What a story 😊
You are the sweetest couple! Andre, I can see from your reaction that you feel this song the same as I do. Weeping to beauty is not unmanly! I'm a gruff looking old guy, and I cry to music & other beautiful things all the time. It means you are a whole person, in touch with your feelings, it's good, don't feel embarrassed!

I always smile because you say I don't know, then describe it perfectly
Right there with you Andrei
Perfect examples of mixed dreams turn out to be just illusions . A lifetime journey .
this one is by far the best version ever there are no mistakes it is the most polished beautiful instruments that can possibly be played
wonderful reaction, please, please, please do In Any Tongue from this concert, in my opinion one of DG's best solos, and such a powerful song too - it's stunning. And only strong men show their emotions in public Andrei 😊
I’m 62 and still tear up with many, if not all ,Pink Floyd songs, that’s just how magical they are
The most beautiful version of this song was played in Gdansk…. Listen to it and u will love love love it!!
You two are just as beautiful as Floyd's music! Thank you for doing what you do! Love it. All of it!
Can you even imagine being able to pull out a guitar and be able to connect with millions of people like that? This man is my second favorite artist of all time and easily my favorite guitarist! (He'd be number 1 if not for Freddie).
Another lovely reaction folks, such beautiful and moving musical magic from the master magician. I know others have suggested it but for a little more musical sorcery you should try In Any Tongue from this show, it's glorious, but you might need to keep the tissues handy.
You can never get enough of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour 😊.
Hello, Andrei and Dominika.
For the last couple of years I’ve been watching quite a few reactions to some of my favorite bands/singers, including my #1 PINK FLOYD /DAVID GILMOUR, and I have a selection of favourite reactors, too.
Andrei, you are right; This performance is INCREDIBLY EMOTIONAL. From the music, arrangement, visuals, mood (Bell), lyrics (nostalgia, life). It’s the last song from PF’s 1994 album The Division Bell, considered by many (me included) as the Last PF Studio Album. This Pompeii Concert is from 2015-2016. I remember seeing an interview with David Gilmour from this tour, and he said that this performance was in memory of PF’s keyboardist and longtime friend RICHARD WRIGHT, who passed away in 2008. The bassist is Guy Pratt (Richard Wright son in law) who joined the band back in the mid 80s when Roger Waters left, and has been with David ever since. To resume this performance in a few words, let’s say it’s the perfect medicine for the Emotional Constipation.
Ok. We got the part of the song done. Now to your reaction …
As I said before, I’ve been checking out quite a few reactions to PF, and yours are truly special. You guys express and show really well the exact reaction that PF brings out in us the receptors. PF/DG music is not just for listening, you don’t have a choice but to immerse yourself in the experience. David’s guitar really sings and takes us to a whole different plane where we can’t help but let out our most pure feelings and emotions.
So … Andrei … Please don’t hold back. Just let it all out and afterwards you’ll fell a sort of peace in your soul you can’t fully explain. Trust me! This guys LITERALLY helped me climb out of a deep depression a couple of years ago.
Keep up the spirit!
Sncerely,
El Charlie
P.S. While we’re on this note, let me give you a couple of suggestions that are right up there with this performance:
1) ECHOES (LIVE FROM GDANSK, 2006) David Gilmour said this is the Last time he was ever going to perform this song, as Keyboardist Richard Wright passed away a couple of years later, and the song wasn’t the same without him.
2) A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM (From the same Gdansk tour). David’s guitar solo here is truly magical.

I believe that this is the most beautiful Pink Floyd to me
You guys embody the true spirit of these reaction type videos. Your genuine emotional reactions are why I listen and watch, especially for songs that I've heard for 30 and 40 years. It gives me hope and a fresh perspective that people with like-minded tastes from all different backgrounds and upbringings can be united by the emotion that music triggers. Keep up the great work and keep the genuine reactions coming thank you so much
Music like this unites us all, race, nationalit, gender, religion, age, status, class, all the things that can be used to divide us pale into insignificance when music like this can unite us across any barrier.
I get emotional every time I hear this song! I’ve been listening to pf for 51 yrs and listen to their music every day! David’s wife writes most of the lyrics to his music!!
unic gilmour ❤
High hopes 💔
PINK FLOYD siempre será la mejor banda sonora y poética de Rock de la historia de la música ☮️🙏♥️🇦🇷
Saludos desde Argentina genios, me encanta su canal.
David Gilmour is God!!!
I love your tears❤ it happens to me too.
priceless...
Escuchen IN ANY TONGES ..Es uno de los mejores solos de guitarra y los vocalistas son espectaculares ....High Hopes es pura magia ...
Yes is High Hopes no matter who you and where you are this the Pink Floyd of David Gilmour 😍
Can see that you are Italian...your eyes say it all, man. It's wonderful to know that such people exist. I hear yours in my heart. Greetings from the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea!!!
This in my top 3 PF songs but I still think the best live High Hopes performance is from the DG 'Live in Gdansk' concert with the Polish Baltic Philharmonic Orchestra......
David Gilmore is a special talent and for years around the holidays lots of guitars of every brand, electric, acoustic or even unpopular brands we’re praying that David was under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. God Bless Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘
Thank you both for granting my request. And Andrei, your emotions only mean that you are a strong enough man to let them show. I cry every time I listen to this song. I'm 60 years old. I read in the comments suggestions that you should react to other versions of this song that are "better". Every version I have seen and listened to of this song including the album version are beautiful in there own way. The Gdansk version is second on my list with the orchestra behind them. But as mentioned by other seasoned Floydians......this acoustic ending coupled with the ambience of the whole setting just sets this one apart for me. And I agree with you Dominka.....as David ages he just becomes more amazing.
The fact that the song is about getting old, it becomes even more powerful when David Gilmore performs it at the age of 75ish and not at 45ish (Pulse time).
He was 70 at the time, he turned 77 this year.
"In any tongue"! "Faces of Stone"!! Same concert!! Two songs that proves David Gilmour just gets better the older he gets!!! The first song is anti-war and beautiful!! The second song is one of his last memories with his mother who was suffering with dementia!! Also a beautiful song but what do you expect with David Gilmour???
This may not be “Pink Floyd” in name, but it is the best version of this song. I’m a straight man but I have the biggest “man crush” on David Gilmour. He has a beautiful spirit that speaks to me like no other musician. And someone previously said in the comments which I completely agree with. The studio version, and the Pulse version, of this song were amazing but somehow I never felt like it ended in a satisfying way, for me. The acoustic outro completely finishes this song for me, which is why this the best version for me.
I totally agree with you @mikewatts867. After hearing many different endings to this song live, I feel he finally mastered it at the age of 70ish on this stage. This is why I made the request for it. I weep every time I watch this.
love you guys
Like i always say, I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS FROM PINK FLOYD, as it is my favourite band ever.... And been lucky and priviledge to listen to Pink Floyd since 1981... Never had the luck to see them live and i would be one of the things that i would love to happen, still, in my life... Thank you once again... your'e both in my heart... IT´S NOT WEEKNESS... I HAVE THAT SAME FEELING FOR THE PAST 42 YEARS
Both of you are wonderful! Fun to watch your Pink Floyd journey, one many of us have been traveling for some time. Enjoy!
I would highly recommend you watch “In Any Tongue” from this same concert. Very beautiful and emotional song. David’s solo at the end of that song is one of his most emotional pieces.
You say that he sold some guitars and it's true. It is known that In 2019 he auctioned off 120 guitars, including the famous Black Strat and a selection of Fender Broadcasters, Esquires, Telecasters and Stratocasters for charity. In 2003, she sold his house in Little Venice and donated the proceeds of £3.6 million to the Crisis Foundation to help finance a housing project for the homeless, as well as supporting various charities. Do you remember "On the turning away"? This magnificent human being believes in what he writes and will always have my admiration.
I wrote just the other day that I'd heard interviews with several musicians who had more or less come into contact with Gilmour, and they all talked about what a joy it was to work with him. In rehearsals, in concerts, on the road in his spare time. The truth is that Gilmour always chooses absolute professionals in their field and demands absolute discipline (meaning in the interpretation and arrangement of the music) in rehearsals and performances. The rehearsals are quite tough and demanding. Nevertheless, there is a tremendous sense of well-being and joy in the work.
As in the Pink Floyd era,Gilmour gives unprecedented space to backing vocalists in his solo projects, for which they are very grateful. I think I've written this before, too, but it always gives me immense pleasure to see the musicians often smile at each other during a concert, as if saying to each other from a distance, "Yeah, that was good." I like that.
I wish everyone a good time, and not just listening to more Pink Floyd - for example, Run Like Hell from this concert - another fantastic rock firecracker that closed the show. Great music and an unprecedented spectacle, with everyone on stage having to put on sunglasses - guess why and try...
David Gilmour's High Hopes and Aurora's Through The Eyes Of A Child are two songs that really bring me back to my youth.
Love watching your reactions to pink floyd songs there songs take you on a journey through your life. Huge fan from Australia 👍
Laughing like a drain at your comment ‘I thought he had a batch of magic guitars’. So funny 😂 Please keep doing the Pink Floyd/David Gilmour reactions! X
beautiful.
Essa música realmente é um hino!!!
I believe that the ending of this song where it sounds different is because at this stage of life all of your experiences feel different. Old age feels tragically beautiful, like this song.
Your reaction is indeed the cherry, love his heart, feel the same 😍
She is right, he can feel the good in the world...❣️How can a human being not be touched by this?
She also got it with her perception of the drummer:
The drummer once said, playing with David Gilmour each time is like winning the lottery, he cannot believe it and feels so hlessed, in the same way talked the other guitarist who played with many stars like Michael Jackson and thought this was it, but with pink Floyd and David Gilmour he gained another level, also the keyboarder, this gratitude, appreciation and joy of the band members is part of the spirit and love filled athmosphere ❤
Yes, the beautifulness is undescribable😭🥰💚💜
I believe that all the Floydians have a form of higher heart body brain connection to the great connection, so you feel allways something special, with gets you out of this conditioned world...
Try Pink Floyds sauerful of secrets (live at Pompeii): the story telling from chaos to beauty (especially with Ricks spirit)😊
Welcome to the Pink Floyd/David Gilmour family! Even after years of starting on the Floyd journey, I find my breath still catches in my throat and the tears well up. Goose bumps, palpitations and feelings of ascention mixed with raw indescribable emotion. Don't apologise for your honest reaction to something so beautiful. Enjoy the ride!
Good reaction as always. Shoutout to Guy Pratt that works in the shadows (since Delicate...) on the bass. He adds so much life to the songs live. Pompeii version of One of these days is as good as the original. Delicate and Pulse versions i really like but for me i guess they need to be in Pompeii. :)
Andrei is sooo sweet.
The pulse version of this is clearly the best
When this album was first released I took a trip to the Hawaiian Islands again. I had a Mustang convertible to drive and this album playing almost constantly. Though not really an island type of vibe it has become inextricably blended with the islands in my mind and still, decades later, brings forth those memories every time I play it.
You both just made my day..as a long time floyd fan this is one epic track in terms of musical presence ive always loved its power and this is mesmerizing.
Great reaction to a great song from a great show. I do hope you get around to "Echoes" from Live from Gdansk, Richard Wright's last recorded live performance.
Regarding the confusion with Gilmour playing Pink Floyd music at his solos shows: David wrote and/or played the music on all but the very earliest Pink Floyd albums, so he has the freedom to play any of those songs at his solo shows. David has stated that when Richard Wright passed away in 2008, Pink Floyd essentially died as a band out of respect for Wright. He(David Gilmour) will never play another live performance under the name of Pink Floyd. His deep respect for Richard Wright is the same reason he won't play Echoes at any of his shows.
The bass player's name is Guy Pratt. He's essentially been the bass player for Pink Floyd since the departure of Roger Waters in the mid-80's, for David Gilmour, and even for Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets tour most recently.
If Dave were to go on tour with Nick Mason on drums, it would most likely be hyped up as a Pink Floyd tour...which generally means a new album needs to be recorded to support the tour, all the massive undertaking of lights, equipment, etc. that would be required to produce a concert of PF expected quality. There would likely have to be a multiple leg tour to Europe, USA, Canada, etc. with each leg having dozens of shows at different venues. None of these things are anything David Gilmour has any desire to be a part of from my understanding. With solo tours, he can put out a new album is he so chooses with material that he has created, choose the venue(s) to play, and choose his backing band members. I saw this tour when it was in the USA in 2016. The USA part of the tour only had FOUR venues. Compare that to the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour from 1987 which had 23 venues or the Division Bell tour (the tour from the Pulse show) in 1994 that had 35 different venues. I don't know for certain, but there might likely be record label legalities associated with a show billed by Pink Floyd.
Needless to say...if for some reason a news flash popped up that Pink Floyd's surviving members were going to put on one show on the moon and tickets were going to be $10,000 each, there would be droves of fans booking a flight on space shuttles.
I think this song somehow invokes a feeling of innocence and hope that some of us lost due growing up and living in these current times.
Love to you both really enjoy your reaction to Pink Floyd who i as a 74 yr old had similar reactions way back then. Floyd's music is as relevant now as was then and takes you on a soul journey. Namaste
Very emotional music…strong men cry!…just wait till you get older!❤️🍀🤷🏻♂️❤️
It's true what you say, Gilmour is a rock GOD but the rest of the live band are INSANELY AWESOME as well. I hope you'll got back to watch the Live At Pompeii performance of Sorrow sometime, just watch the other band members during that, it's INCREDIBLE when you see just what a great time they're having.
High hopes in gdansk the end with the acoustic guitar a dream...
Here is a quick way to tell if you're looking at Pink Floyd or David Gilmour solo. Nick Mason is the drummer and a founding member of Pink Floyd. If you see him on drums you know it's a Pink Floyd concert since yes, David did take many of his Floyd backup extras on his 2006 tour, including Richard Wright (founding member) on keyboard. This video here is from 2016. Gilmour always includes plenty of songs from the Pink Floyd catalog on his solo tours since his vocals and guitar are so prominent on so many of their most famous songs. He knows what the people want.
Love you two
You are spot on Dominika,...DG's later work has matured aesthetically - both in his vocal delivery and musical sensibility.
I hear he is working on a new solo album (probably his last) and I for one can't wait for its release. No doubt Romany (his daughter) will be an integral part of it.
Also Dominika - if there is a tour make sure Andrei gets to see him live.
The great Chuck Levell on the piano. Chuck has played with many groups, including the Allman Brothers and The Rolling Stones.
David has a library of his own songs he has written for his solo records but he is also a major composer of Pink Floyd music and hold the copyrights to perform them in both his solo concert tours and Pink Floyd shows. It is not a David Gilmour show without a few PF songs mixed in.
Both of you mention often how its impossible to describe how beautiful the Gilmour/Pink Floyd experience is, but, I'll comment that the emotional effect this music has on both of you from time to time is exactly the "unspoken" voice of articulation that is so hard to find within yourself. If this music makes you emotional, you are non-verbally saying you aren't just being exposed to the music, but, you are feeling it all the way to the molecular level of your being. You're not just listening to the music, you are HEARING what it is saying.
I've been lucky enough to witness a PF show and several Gilmour and Roger Waters shows and at a few of those shows I witnessed people crying because the experience effected them in the same way it does you two sometimes. Rest assured, you're not alone when Gilmour tears you to shreds with his guitar. In fact, most of us that are life-long PF fans know exactly what you are saying.
